Making a miniature head.

[nonamemx]

My very first amp was a tiny 12w Randall RG12M.

It sounds terrible. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

BUT, I suspect thats because of the cheap little speaker.

I was thinking about chopping it in half, and making a miniature head out of it, hopefully it would be something I would care to use sometimes for fun rather than the ugly box I dont like to look at tucked behind the guitar stand [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I can do this pretty easy, the only problem I can see would be speaker ohms.

I dont know offhand what the speaker it has in it is rated for (but I could get out my multimeter and figure it out) but I was wondering. . .does it matter?

I remember vaguely hearing something about solidstates not really needing to match impedence.

Is it going to be a problem? Im usually pretty good at stuff like this, but Im stumped this time. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Thanks.

Re: Making a miniature head.

Oh yes, it'll be a problem alright. Match that right or you'll fuck it up. Remember less is more. A 2 ohm speaker is actually sucking out more power than a 4 ohm.
